During the week leading up to Christmas, Brady got the opportunity to go home. Unfortunately it was for his Nana's funeral, which he was asked to speak at, but he was able to also take Teagan. She loved her Nana so much even though she only got to see her a couple of times during her life. Along with paying their respects, they got to spend some wonderful quality time in Eagar with family. Teagan got to be part of the "Grammie Party" and be an angel (which she just ate up). She even got to be reunited with her favorite cousin! And to top it all off... they got a true Eagar Christmas experience! As much as I was glad they were able to go, it sure was nice to have them back home!

Moving day finally came for us in the middle of November. The kids had to give their farewell to grandma's house in a creative way by rolling her stools all over the house. Thanks to the help of some great friends, we got our stuff moved and into the house. It wasn't too long before we were moved in that we got our first snowfall. The kids loved it! I hope the new neighbors (pretty much all retired) enjoy the kids. Hopefully, when we get some paint on the walls and such, I will post more pictures of the house (before and afters).

So, it is a little late, but as the saying goes... better late than never. Here are the Halloween pictures for 2009. Teagan was a cat, Kaelsy was a horse, and Kyre the octopus. It all started with pumpkin carving. Teagan got her Ariel (she had Belle last year), Kaelsy got a sippy cup (don't ask... I did, but after asking her three more times if she was sure... I went with it) and Kyre a basketball (we are not brainwashing him). The girls got to go door to door for the first time this year. We went around my grandmother's neighborhood, a great neighborhood, and the kids made a haul. They received handfuls from each of the houses and sometimes more when they found out whose grandkids they were. Brady even got in on the action. What a guy! Maybe next year, I will join in (or maybe not).
